My son in law has had a large 2 storey extension built on the side of the house. The builder put up the shell and he finished off, including fixing and finishing the plasterboard. Apparently during the build the Building Inspector on one of his visits noted that the wrong insulation had been used in the cavity walls. Not disastrous as he would accept it providing a specific type of plasterboard was used inside. This information was never passed on. On his final visit today he brought this point up and wants a hole cut in the plasterboard so that he can come back and confirm what has been used.
Assuming it's the wrong one will the problem be confined to outside walls, i.e. will internal walls be ok with standard plasterboard, and would fixing the correct plasterboard over the existing stuff be acceptable? Have only spoken briefly to my daughter so this is all the info I have at present - don't know specifics of what insulation was used and what type of plasterboard he required.
Any opinions welcomed!
